Topic:
Reconfiguring Ocean Observation Systems in Real Time
Abstract
Scientific and technical advances are converging to provide the ocean sciences vastly improved flexibility in observing the ocean. Not only is it possible to make many more measurements, but mobile robotic platforms are providing the ability to reconfigure an observation system at will.
Group discussion on adaptive sampling at CMOP. Antonio will lead the discussion.
Open meeting; Cooley Rm 7212, OGI Campus
